For more than forty years, Tony March generously donated most of his fortune and countless hours to help those in need, but no one ever knewâuntil now.
To the public, he was the founder of one of the most successful minority-owned businesses in the country, a champion for minority business owners, and a respected community leader entrusted to manage $1 billion in state funds. Privately, however, Tony indulged his true passion: getting his hands dirty serving the homeless community.
In shocking detail, Paying It Backward presents Tonyâs incredible journey from poverty, abuse, racism, and depression in a Daytona Beach ghetto to the highest level of business success and a life filled with purpose. More importantly, Tony shows how anyoneâno matter who they are or where they come fromâcan improve their lives, conquer any hardship, and develop a heart for serving others.
When you reach the top of the mountain, Tony says, you can either sit at the peak or reach back down and help others climb. In Paying It Backward, Tony reflects on his struggles on the way upâand the joy he found by reaching back down.
